For those asking if Bitcoin is the only coin that with halving capability the answer is no, many coins have this feature as well

1. On August 5 2019 LTC completed it's second halving
2. On January 4 2020 BEAM completed it's first halving
3. Both BSV and BCH halving will take place in April 2020
4. Zcash halving will happen around November- December 2020
5. BCD (Bitcoin Diamond) halving will take place on 29 July 2020

The list goes on and on, some are even holding few altcoins that will halve later on but they don't know it, DYOR

Yes, this year many altcoins will have halving too, but only Bitcoin halving does matter in the crypto market. As you can see no one is aware of all these halving events except for Bitcoin. Good thing is, this year the top three coins Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin will have some great updates and that can lead a bull run within the next year.

I'd love to have Bitcoin as my strongest asset before halving happens, and the second options is with xrp as my top potential asset second to bitcoin as of now. Ethereum is also a promising asset, however this has already making a history on my previous experience that's why I am diverting into another chapter with new one that's also capable.

I think that no other halving is as important as the one for BTC. Afterall it's the biggest mining network and also the cryptocurrency with the biggest capitalization. The most ASICs and people mining it for profit. It's more important and arguably, if anything has an impact on crypto, it's bitcoin that affects everything in the space. Other halvings barely had a noticeable effect on prices and I think it's only because of BTC market movements at the time.

I agree with you. Bitcoin is the number one coin and it is really only for it that reducing the amount will make a big difference. In any case, it is good that this happens, because this way the value of such a coin increases.

If you are learning about what happened with litecoin and it's clear that if halving will bring a good impact to the coin for the short term. The halving usually will not give any impact if that was happening with unpopular coin or not so popular coins among the cryptocommunity.

Exactly, this is the most touted and awaited halving as far as we know.

Although LTC halving is being look as well because after-all it is a small brother to BTC. And as far as I can remember, there could have been similarities regarding the price movement after halving (I could be wrong).

As for the rest of the coins halvings, they can be forgotten or at least no hype, or could probably just be used by manipulators to take advantage of the situation to make more money out of noob investors.

with the number of coins that will do the halving, most likely the market goes up high now. because in the period before and after the halving or fork, coins usually do not immediately rise significantly and some time after that happens, then the coins will rise to the moon. maybe next year will be the most ideal year for the crypto market.

I haven't thought of it completely but I know that it does happen to other cryptocurrencies. The most recent one that I know is LTC. Last year, it was rumored that it is going to increase in price because of that halving and I think there was a time when you could've taken advantage of that. Anyways, halving is important when the supply is cut, the possible demand will rise. It's the basic theory and as long as people are buying into it, it would have a higher price rate as the reward of miners decreases.

I know miners and other people who are concerned with any kind of halving, whether it's in Bitcoin, LTC, etc. They have already prepared for that and maybe it's what we need to do, is just to be prepared.

Bitcoincash is halving sooner than bitcoin, It would halve around 38 days from now. And BitcoinSV too would be halving around next 42 days.
Both of them are the forks of bitcoin and their blockchain progression are running faster than bitcoin. This would certainly be the year of bitcoin and it's forks.

Of course! Some coins do have their own halvings to but it isnt surprising that most people doesnt really care at all.Why? they do only focus on Bitcoin and the rest would be just be ignored.
There might some that do consider on other coins as well depending if they do really support nor do hold such coin but the rest do know on where the place should be focused on.
Some do really might forget due to not being updated or doesnt care on whats happening as long they do hold up to their coins into their stashes.

Of all the coins that also have a halving features only Bitcoin gets special attention from publication and Crypto fans, because it has proven that been  BTC prices will hit new ATH.
Some of the coins that you mentioned do not show a particularly good performance on prices when halving occurs, that's happen to LTC because once again BTC is reference of all altcoins, altcoin can't grow alone.

I know some coins have halvings too but I think the reason why most people don't give much attention to it is because of the low impact of its halving on the price of the coin as in the case of Bitcoin. This is why most people are anticipating so much for bitcoin halving other than all the others listed by the OP.

What is the proof that Bitcoin will reach a new ATH if halving happens? Currently bitcoin is no longer at $ 10,000 yesterday, a severe decline in 24 hours means that bitcoin is still not showing that it will reach the new ATH yet there are no signs.

I think all altcoin depends on how the development of Bitcoin if it grows, altcoin will also follow it with good performance.
Altcoin cannot be ascertained as it used to be, maybe it doesn't know when the altcoin season will arrive soon.

Altcoins halving are never subject to any changes in the price. Halving refers to the scarcity level to be increased. In case of the altcoin you shared are not going to create that scarcity and as a result no price changes will come in unless they have a significant adoption.

if it is true they will halving in several weeks again maybe we must becarefull on these price. as we know BCH and BSV were pump and dump coin  and maybe couple days before halving its price will dumped alot. but it we courage to buy, we will get much profits after these coin halving. unfortunately this is the first halving and no history that could help us to analize market behaviour.

Only those who understands what halving is will now how important what OP is talking about, halving means more scarcity to the max supply of a coin, this means those other coins that will go through halving will reduce too

That's the thing here, most altcoins are following bitcoin footsteps but clearly, even their own halving arent that popular to make it as a shill and we can see that since only few people are talking about it. Like what OP's mentioned there are lots of other altcoins and bitcoin forks that halves too.


This is right. The advantage of bitcoin over altcoins in terms of halving are their scarce increases as most people get interested while altcoin adoption isn't that immense to compare with. Maybe eth can match but still not that strong.

I disagree with your point, after beam halving in January the price have increased 25% since then, if you have doubts please don't hesitate to look at it's charts since January 4

No idea about BSV but Bitcoincash is not surely only a pump and dump coin. There are a lot of miners dedicated to mining Bitcoincash and has a large community that's working for the betterment of the blockchain. Thought some members of bitcoin community and BCH community has some degree of confrontation, there are a significant group of people who believe both of these chains can have a future.

We can't compare a coin that started halving since 10years back to new coins that started halving few years ago, the difference is very clear, more halving lower coins for miner

Of course they would do it too,
AFAIK they also have fork crypto too they wouldn't just let the King of crypto be the only crypto that have that feature,
Of course they want to take over or surpass it so they would also have the same thing.

It seems to me that other coins understood that Halving makes hype around of coins and that is why they have implemented this procedure. just to increase the popularity of their coin. perhaps after bitcoin halving even more coins will announce that they will have the same thing in their projects

I agree that many cryptocurrencies will have halving this year and I hope this will help the cryptocurrency market to grow very quickly, but of course the main event of this year is bitcoin halving and we all hope that it is Bitcoin halving that will give an impetus to the growth of all cryptocurrencies.

Yes, there are 1000s of altcoins available in this crypto space and most of them are having economy rules similar to how bitcoin is doing. Hence, we can expect halving to keep on happening around this crypto space all the times. But my concern is, what will be the economic change all other cryptos and their halving will be bringing to this entire crypto space. None of them. Yes, only bitcoin will be capable of doing that and all others will be simply following what bitcoin is setting regardless of when their halving is happening/scheduled.

Still, BCH and BSV's halving may bring new changes to their value levels. Because, these coins are backed by few whales who may pump o dumb to anywhere they want to see. Anyway, I doubt about their impact on trend setting in crypto market directions; probably their halving may impact within their ecosystem.

we have already seen how the LTC halving took place in summer 2019. LTC price was dumped after halving. I really hope that the same thing will not happen with other coins, but the possibility of repeating of this situation is very high. do not rely on a big profit from the fact that the coin will have a halving

yeah its counter intuitive, but halving is not affecting all coins same way.
So btc is going up, but that doesn't mean any other coin halved will rise at all.
I'm going to do research to see how many alts went higher after halving in general

of course, all those bitcoin forks kept the halving rule intact because it helps to control the value.
less availability of newly mined coins and higher demand on the growing market is great for any cryptocurrency.
most people care about bitcoin because it is still the number one coin, then they might have a look after their favorite altcoins.

Good info, not everyone knows about this, someone once asked me what halving is and i did let him know that other coins have halving too not Bitcoin only, the best move for newbies is research, use cases matters more than halving, halving is just a plus to features of a coin

I thought they are going to be halved in value.  ;D

I know about LTC but dont know the others specially BCH. I don't really care much about that coin or whatever they call it.
Those who have ownership is just like a bank. So I put them out of my list of altcoins.
Popularity base, it is still bitcoin on the top when halving comes.
Other coins are being ignored.

Yes, and I also hope that a half-bitcoin reduction can affect other top altcoin prices, so the market can recover and this can benefit everyone in cryptocurrency, but we just don't know when it will happen, even though there are many who made predictions for this year.

No better Halving than that of Bitcoin presently simply because Bitcoin is the first and well trusted digital currency apart from the rest, honestly I doubt if there will ever be any other digital currency that will be well supported like bitcoin

Only btc halving may really change the situaiton on the market

I don't even know that many coin has halving ability, thanks for this wonderful information, from now on I will look deep into new projects maybe they have halving or not, it's a very good way of adding value to tokens and coins

I am not too concerned about halving of altcoin. Because it will not affect this market. Maybe the price of that altcoin will increase but it will certainly not be significant, I only care about halving Bitcoin because it will greatly affect this market. If the Bitcoin price goes up after halving, this whole market will surely go up

Hmm, very interesting that both BCH and BSV will have its own halving right before BTC halving.
If you go by the logic that they are just a fork coin from BTC itself, then why are they going first on halving then the original coin is on May? Doesn't make sense unless they want to somewhat derail BTC's schedule halving in May.

Halving I guess is there to be part of the economic event for its community, I don't hold any of those coin except Zcash and BTC.  But halving is not really hyped with Zcash. Its only with BTC that makes it more exciting because the effect of its halving affects all other coins that is paired to BTC. 
ETH should have halving since it was mine-able by GPU and it supply is terrible but well, they plan to be POS now.

It could be, but I don't think that they can derail BTC halving. I mean, this is a altcoin board and sure there could be supporters of Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV.

But if you're into crypto in general, we all can say that bitcoin is still the dominant crypto and whatever those fork coin will do, there could be only one BTC and no one can stop it, just saying.

There is also the difference of a currency that is 200+ billion dollars in market cap and over %50 of all other coins combined, so of course others have halving too but it is usually not even remotely close so that is why we do not care. Litecoin is probably the biggest I can remember closest that happened and litecoin is basically hated by the owners because of Charlie Lee but the coin itself is decent.

So, long story short when you compare ANY other halving to bitcoin, you are also comparing the coin as well to bitcoin and no other coin could ever be compared to it, not a chance. I like some altcoins as well and I support them, I am not against any other altcoin, it is just that bitcoin is a whole another level beast.

same here  but even if we dont care of halving for altcoin , other people could care more to them  . they are altcoin enthusiasts or devs of alts  .

if alts halve i think it will have an impact on other altcoins too and even on btc  .  i remember one time there were alts that halve and btc pumped up a little  .  what if that scenario can happen again  but if bitcoin halves  , i think its price can really go up and btc arent the one that can benfit from this up but other coins too ( altcoins and tokens  )  . this does happen all the time   .

yes of course, bitcoin is the main thing, but I doubt that your XRP, although xrp is a top3 cmc coin, does not mean that it is good in the long run.
why don't you start with ETH, XLM or LTC, where their position may be better in the future.
or you just wanted for bull run and expect XRP will reach new ATH.

Out of all these coins listed, I don't think that there is any interest in the cryptocurrency market for coins apart from LTC, BCH and BSV. BEAM, BCD.etc have very few users and they are outside the top-20 list. Litecoin had its halving last year, and the prices crashed immediately after that event. A recovery is yet to occur for Litecoin. I don't know what will happen with BCH and BSV. But I am a bit optimistic, at least for BCH.

Because of the approaching halvings Binance now offers to convert your cryptocurrencies into BCH, DASH or ZEC.

DASH has technically no full block "halving" but rather a block reward decreasing by 7.14% every ~383 days.
This year around 2020/04/27 15:25 is the estimated reduction date/time ( 55 days, 6 hours, 24 minutes ).

I have really learnt a lot from this forum so far. I understand bitcoin halving is all about reducing fees associated with Bitcointalk transactions if am correct. Never knew there are other coins that are also undergoing halving too. Thats quite a good research you did there and this kinda post is what many newbies and investors hope to see here. Kudos

its not correllated with bitcointalk transaction. halving mean , mining fee will devide by two for each block. each coins have their own mechanisme that maybe similar with halving, but they will do the different thing. from coins above BCH and BSV will look interesting in market. as we know these coins have extreme volatility , i am sure there are alot traders floating minus when they dont know this fundamental.

Speculations are high, on Bitcoin and all other Bitcoin forks, I think there's nothing new about it, most of us crypto people are just drawing speculation from time to time and I see it as a part of the crypto culture, cryptocurrency works that way, the crypto investors, developers,  we all buy a particular cryptocurrency because we hope that someday it will be as expensive like bitcoin and thats the truth about it, By the way, your halving list is cool but some are missing I hope you add it more so that many people in this forum will know. 

Bitcoin halving has nothing to do with bitcoin talk and you must learn more about that. It seems like from your statement if you are not yet understand about what is the meaning of the bitcoin halving. Bitcoin halving is about the block reward for bitcoin miners are getting reduced to decrease the inflation and this is already programmed by satoshi.

I don't know how much of a boost Dash and ZEC are going to get as a result of this decision from Binance. It is one of the largest exchanges out there and we can expect a lot of impact. But both these coins have performed rather poorly for the last 1-2 years. And this has happened despite them showing a lot of promise during 2017, when the bull run was ongoing.
